that the blame should not have rested
on one alone. It should have besn
divided equally, leaving me to bear
half of it and my wife tho other halt.
Where we erred was in dividing up
the blame on the basis of tenderloin
steak or peach cobbler, compelling
you to bear half OF it yourself. That
will not work, Wilhelmina. Blame
and preserves do not divide up on tho
same basis We are now in favor of
what may be called a sliding scale.
We think you will like this better.
We also made a grave mistake in
the matter of nights out. While
young, I formed the wicked and per-
nicious habit of having nights out my

give young people like yourself a
chance, Wilhelmina.

Another thing I wish to write before
I close this humiliating personal.
wish to take back my harsh and bitter
words about your singing I said that
you sang like shingls mill, but was
mad when said it, and I wronged
you. was maddensd by hunger and
you told me that mush and milk was
the proper thing for a brain worker.
and you refused to give me any done
on my dumping. Godded to madness
by this l said that you sang like a
single mill, but it was not my better,
higher nature that spoke. 1t was my
grosser and more gastric nature that
asserted itself and l new desire to take
it back. You do not sing like shlngle
mill; at least SO much as to mislead
pract'ced ear.
Your voice has more volume, and
when your upper register is closed Is
mellower than any shingle-mill ever
heard.
Come back, Wilhemina. We need
you every hour.
After you went away we tried to set

gone into the theatre by that door
with members of the administration.
Perhaps it might serve az an exit to
some who were imprisoned in that
burning building.
. Haif-a-dozen men rushed to open it
at his suggestion, and then--Lester
Wyndham had staggered out.
Ihe full extent Of that awful horror
was not known to these three till the
next day, when the work of bringing
the dead from the ruins was sadly be-
gun.
Over that let us draw veil. The
story has been told, with all its hor-
rible details, by journals in all coun-
tries.
But amid all the dreadful misery
that night entailed, it is pleasant to
think that the disaster brought with
it the happiness Of at least two loving
souls.

The opening chorus seemed to him

to and fro on the boards as the argu-

began its fitflal applause.
Wyndham saw nothing Of the

pings he saw his own room, and a
little alender figure, modestly draped
In soft whlte-Margurite, with eyes
like dark pansies, and a mass of shin

knot.
The opera ran on, but Wyndham

But the mad rush for the doors
